Hikaya Collective Hostel features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Bethlehem. The property is located 3.6 km from Umar Mosque, 3.7 km from St. Catherine's Church and 3.7 km from Church of the Nativity. Free WiFi and a shared kitchen are provided.

Hikaya Collective Hostel is not just a family homestay, it's much more! It’s a unique experience, with an introduction to the culture of Palestine and its amazing people, valuable stories, and important insights into the life in Dheisheh refugee camp. We learned that Palestinian hospitality is a very generous one. Ahmad and his family are extremely caring and friendly. They treated us very well, and made sure we got everything we needed at all times, including delicious local food. We were often invited to their house and we got to know and spend some time with Ahmad’s parents and sisters. We felt very safe in the neighborhood. In fact, when passing by houses and shops we were greeted by people, and invited to have coffee and tea. Before coming communication was great. Ahmad speaks fluent English and immediately contacted us as soon as we booked the room, even though we booked it last minute. He gave us all the information and instructions on how to get there, and everything we needed to know. The property is situated in a good location, just 3.6 km from Umar Mosque (which is really easy and cheap to access with a shared taxi). It is close to many shops, supermarkets, fresh falafel, and a taxi point. The room is very clean, spacious and has been decorated in an authentic-cozy way, with heating, and a warm shower. We really appreciated the generous check-in and check-out times, and it was excellent value for money. We wished we could have stayed for longer. ممنونتك

Set in Jerusalem and with Western Wall reachable within 600 metres, Jaffa Gate Hostel offers concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge. The property is located 3.7 km from Holyland Model of Jerusalem, 7.3 km from Rachel's Tomb and 9.2 km from Manger Square. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests.

The private rooms are basic but clean, with a million dollar view from the terrace above. Staying inside the old town felt like an unimaginable privilege, yet it cost only as much as a 3* hotel in Europe. Staff also were friendly and helpful.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Very comfortable room. Clean and well furnished. Great location for exploring the neighborhood. Felt safe and secure during our very short visit. Staff were most accommodating, even arriving early to let us in and following up to ensure everything was okay. Will certainly return.

    This was my second stay at the hostel as it was one of the cheapest places to stay in Bethlehem for Christmas, and is located right near where the Christmas Eve parade starts. The host provided a traditional home-cooked Christmas Eve meal for a reasonable price.

    A fantastic hostel with a warm Palestinian welcome in a great location. Local bus stops are close by and the owner is very knowledgeable so it’s a great place to locate yourself if you want to travel to other areas in the West Bank. It’s also in a nice neighbourhood, so safe if you fancy heading out for food or drinks in the evening but has a good vibe within if not. Quite the Little Star of Bethlehem!
